M M In regards to these five criteria, staff's findings are as follows: 1. The proposed split and other similar splits would have no adverse impact on the neighborhood. Based on the lack of negative responses from subdivision property owners, there appear to be no negative neighborhood impacts anticipated by neighbors. Because the lots in Hidden Acres are large (one acre), splits resulting in ±1/2 acre lots would not result in a high density neighborhood. One lot in the subdivision was split into halves years ago, and that action had no apparent adverse effect on the neighborhood character. 2. The proposed split and other similar splits would result in "buildable" lots. The resulting lot would meet all appli- cable minimum lot size and dimension standards. The Environ- mental Health Department has verified that the resulting lots would meet all applicable well and septic tank requirements. 3. The proposed split and other similar splits would not con- flict with any filed covenants or deed restrictions. The applicant has stated that she is unaware of any filed covenants or restrictions affecting the property. No restrictions or covenants are specified on either the record plat or the applicant's deed. 4. The proposed split and other similar splits would not adversely impact existing infrastructure on 23rd Avenue. The Public Works Department has verified that there are no reported grading or drainage problems in the area. 5. The proposed split would not conform to all applicable County zoning requirements. This is because the request fails to address the right-of-way deficiency along the 8th Street frontage of the proposed southernmost lot. Pursuant to the County's Transportation Thoroughfare Plan, 8th Street is classified as a collector roadway, therefore requiring 80' of right-of-way. Currently the segment of 8th Street adjacent to this site has -only 40' of right-of-way and has a drainage canal running along the south side of the street. With this in mind, the Public Works Department has indicated that an additional 40' of right-of-way is required to bring this portion of 8th Street up to current county standards. Because of the location of an existing house on Lot A (see attachment #3), the full 40' of deficient right- of-way could not be dedicated without the creation of a non -conforming structure. However, twenty feet of the forty foot deficit could be dedicated without creating a non- conformity. A 20' right-of-way dedication would bring this 8th Street segment up to local road standards and thus would not require compensation. The dedication of this 20' of right-of-way is in conformance with Section 10(C)2 of the Subdivision and Platting Ordinance which requires developments along Thoroughfare Plan roadways to dedicate the fair share of any right-of-way up to local road standards. At its meeting of July 28, 1988, the Planning and Zoning Commission specifically excluded the condition to require a 20' right- of-way dedication in its recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners. SUMMARY: It is staff's opinion that the proposed lot split satisfies four of the five criteria necessary to grant approval for the lot split. The proposed resulting southernmost lot fronting 8th Street would not conform to the applicable county zoning requirement that the S7 AUG 2 8 1988 Boor 73 f -,nuc 5N5
